STEP BY STEP: Character page commission

I hope you're all having a great weekend! Here's a step by step of a character page commission I did last month, I'll post a timelapse of this one soon as well. This one's process was pretty straightforward because I had a pretty clear vision of what I wanted to do from the start. This doesn't happen too often because I lack the ability to visualize the end result in my mind, but when I read the prompts I just instantly knew how I want to place the key elements! My goal was to have an epic ba...

November-December commission application forms (CLOSED)

Commission applications for November-December completion are open for Patreon subscribers! Please notice that I plan out my schedule around specific projects, so these are artist's pick. This way I can also close the forms later depending on the number of applications, giving you more time to write and send your application!

WIPS + Commissions opening on 15th November!

While I'm working on a bigger update on some recent work, so have some wips I have in the drafts featuring me and my lovely girlfriend's sonas to go along with this update! Some winter icons, stickers for her (started earlier this year when I used a different brush for stickers) and lastly a chibi sketch from last year when we got to try a palju (an old fashioned outdoor bath tub) in the middle of winter (my ambitious plan is to finish that one for the new year. 😂)

I also just sent o...

TIME LAPSE: Pit sketch

A shorter video this time but it was a fun process that I wanted to share with you! Mainly because of what I think has just recently elevated my lineart (a very rough one in this case) and shading, which is the use of ambient occlusion (those shadowy areas I colored black). It's something I have tried to pay more attention to when studying a figure, and I'm slowly gaining more courage to implement the stark shadows into my work. Especially when I want to add some dimension to a clean sketch l...

TIME LAPSE: Naira

This is one of the first long video recordings I took of my work since I figured out my tablet can handle it much better than I expected! I use Clip Studio's own time lapse option as it's really handy when I'm working on a mobile device (which in my case is Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+), but I had been worried about the file size getting too big for it to handle. I could feel some lag by the end of the process but nothing too bothersome! It has taught me to arrange my layers much better though sinc...

STEP-BY-STEP: Naira

A step-by-step look into the process of how I put together a piece from this year's Artfight event! The character belongs to floidiv who is absolutely killing it with this gorgeous aarwolf x hyena design!

This year's Artfight was much less productive for me than I would have liked so I'm glad I could squeeze in this one. I usually take most of July off to make the most of the event, but this time around I ended up being sick for most of the time as I caught a cold after cold. 😭 Fort...

STEP-BY-STEP: Milkshake date (Completed YCH)

This was an YCH I auctioned off and finished earlier this year. I did the shading in a method I don't use that much anymore which makes me regret I didn't have the timelapse option on when working on this. I hope I was able to capture it well enough in these images!

What I basically did was darkening the characters' colors with one curve tool layer, and then adding highlights and vibrancy with another curve tool layer on top of that. I hope I can catch it on video some of these days! 2023-11-07 17:56:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Rough collie design WIP + abandoned sketches

Something I have had in the works since the start of the year, although the original concept is even older than that! I really wanted to make a design that would be inspired by glam rock's hairstyles and androgynous vibe, and a sable headed white collie seemed perfect for that. But because I can't help myself and my taste in music that is stuck in 2000s emo, it gained some features outside of those themes as well. Soon I found myself making something that is more nostalgic to myself in terms ...

STEP-BY-STEP: Chibi commission

A fun chibi commission from earlier this year for Bratblush! I think I haven't drawn this many props in any of my commissions before so it was a nice challenge to fit all the plushies in the picture while keeping the composition easy to read.

STEP-BY-STEP: Connecting icons

First art related post on Patreon! Testing out the waters here, starting out with a look into how I put together a connecting icon commission from March. I can't believe how the time flies an I'm happy to see some improvement in my workflow or rather how I would make things faster these days while still gaining the same end result. I still find this more loose approach to shading (slides 4 and 6) so relaxing and still use it as a part of my creative process, I just clean it up on the layer ra...

Launch time!

I can't believe this day has finally come when I can launch my Patreon page! It's been a long time coming but it's still very unknown platform in my country and legal advice has been very hard to get. But now I'm all set and couldn't be more excited! Now that it feels like social media is going through some kind of change and everything feels more or less scattered, I hope that Patreon will be my chance to get back the feeling of community and eventually be that familiar place where to create...
